I believe one of the lyrics mentions a "brand new skin" and "At the bottom"

Also one of the versus seems like jesse saying he wasn't able to construct the album into what he wanted it to be.

"But you’re no tailor, you’re no surgeon, none of your cuts go very straight
Every new layer you uncover reveals something else you hate
And then you cracked your head, and broke some bones
And when you glued them back together you found out you did it wrong"

If I Were You has been a bit "rinse and repeat" as of late I feel. However I don't believe the problem is Jake and Amir themselves, or the lack of a constant third person. No, I think the problem is something that has been brought up many times before. The format.

Specifically the ad structure. The episodes feel shorter and shorter. The ads (while obviously needed) are always at the same time and place and are now even repeated themselves.

I think i'd offer another solution, make the episodes longer. I believe there was an episode where Amir mentioned adding segments or features and I think that could be a great way to breathe some life into the podcast. Maybe each episode could also have a 10 to 20 minute addition of them answering quick questions (like their Lightning round episodes) from Twitter/Facebook?
I understand time is a precious thing and I don't want to come off sounding greedy, but IIWY is the lifeblood of Headgum imo. An hour a week is simply not enough.

Also maybe bonus Thursdays could be more frequent? You don't always need an Ad to say "hey guys here's a little bonus content for sticking with us." Another idea would be not to waste time in a Sunday episode of IIWY talking about tour dates if you also have three to four ads in that same episode. Save the tour date promos for the bonus Thursdays?

Now onto that thin divorcee, Geoffery.
I love that boy. His comedic brain, style, and timing are so in-sync with J&A that its almost scary. The episode they had him on was honestly a 10/10 and i'd love to see and hear more of him in everything Headgum.

That being said, tying him to IIWY permanently does not seem like the move they should make here. Frequent Guest? Sure, i'd be all for that, but you have to think is that what Geoff even wants to do there? Is that where his talents should truly be utilized? I know he is an employee ,but something I keep thinking about is the fact that he writes and directs most of the Off Days and Geoffery The Dumbass videos. That is huge.

Still to this day I will go back and get lost in an old Hardly Working playlist on Youtube for hours on end. I feel like Geoffery and the interns need that creative freedom that Jake and Amir were given if we truly want him and the rest of HG to really find their sweet spot and shine.

I know this is like a goddamn chapter book at this point so i'll stop, but I love J&A, IIWY, and this community and really also felt the need to speak out, so thanks for reading this YA GUMPS.
